Lessons of 9/11: Teaching the Next Generation
The museum is adding digital tools, online programs and a new exhibit as it aims to reach 20 million students by the 25th anniversary.
- As the nation marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks today, an estimated 100 million Americans have little to no memory of the event, reflecting a widening generational gap.
- Teaching the September 11 attacks is not a nationwide requirement, though data from the Associated Press shows 25 states mandate instruction, leaving many educators to navigate the history without formal standards.
- Iowa teacher Jason Rude uses documentaries to help students experience the event, while Museum president and CEO Beth Hillman says the institution has reached 70,000 professionals with digital tools and online programs.
- To bridge this gap, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York City is making education a core mission for teachers, as John Jay College School of Criminal Justice student Allya Fareed noted a "big disconnect between my generation and previous generations."
- Pledging 18 million meals for families in need to mark the 25th remembrance, the nonprofit 9/11 Day continues to engage volunteers like Sophia Shmagin, 19, who said, "You're always learning something new" through these volunteering events.
